Pool season in Las Vegas is upon us. And what a beautiful time it is for a trip filled with sunshine, bikinis, DJs, and lots and lots of poolside drinks – because what trip wouldn’t be?

Summer in Vegas means pool parties. Considered the best of the best for a reason − you won’t be able to find places to party like these anywhere else.

To help you on your next adventure, we’ve provided a list to help you decide which one to visit.

Encore Beach Club
If you’re looking for a party, then you’re bound to have the time of your life here. This place is a staple among the pool-party scene. But if, by some rare chance, you get bored, don’t worry, there’s always gambling − inside the beach club, that is.

Party level: Extreme

TAO Beach
The venue might be small in comparison to the mega-pools, but the party sure isn’t. Labeled as one of the top party pools in Las Vegas, TAO is great if you’re looking for a real party atmosphere in an intimate setting. The close proximity to everyone makes it easy to make friends.

Palms Pool
For the most part, this pool is on the lower end of the party spectrum, unless you visit on a Friday for “Ditch Fridays.” The lounge chairs are first come, first served and don’t cost an arm and a leg.

Party level: Chill

Marquee Dayclub
What differentiates Marquee from other dayclubs is not its atmosphere, as it’s on par with the best of them. It’s the bungalow lofts and glass dome. At The Cosmopolitan, you can rent a three-story, 1,000-square-foot bungalow with a deck attached to the Marquee Dayclub.
Ever been to Las Vegas in the summer and the weather wasn’t what you expected it to be? Well, Marquee has you covered with its glass dome that encompasses the entire pool; perfect for days like that.

Party level: Moderate

Drai’s Beach Club
Don’t let Drai’s Beach Club fool you. It may be new to the scene, but it brings a tough game with it. Seated on the rooftop of The Cromwell, it overlooks the center of the Strip, giving it bragging rights that few other clubs can compete with.

Party level: Moderate

Moorea Beach Club
This isn’t your typical Vegas pool club scene. While the venue allows women go topless, it does so in a “sensible fashion.” Most will agree that the venue offers a comfortable atmosphere with a relaxed party vibe. The crowd tends to be quite diverse in age, but skews away from drunken 21-year-olds looking to rage. If you want a pool with a party vibe, but don’t want to feel overwhelmed by the atmosphere, this is your place.

Party level: Chill

Wet Republic Ultra Pool
This is the pool to go to if you’re looking to see some of the best DJs in the world perform. It’s here where you can expect to see performances from Calvin Harris, Tiesto, Steve Aoki and many more. This 54,000-square-foot venue comes complete with 6,000 square feet of pool space, along with six private dipping pools − all filled with saltwater.
